Instructive. Perfect for my level. It is written in a question-and-answer format, which asks you for your assessment of each move and then gives the master’s assessment in the Answers section. The organization is good too. It presents 10 games that are arranged in order of increasing sophistication.

Though the lessons are indisputably valuable, I found the format of the book irritating. The reader has to flip back and forth every few ply for answers which are at the back of the book. Also, the notation isn’t algebraic and I found that my board didn’t match the illustrations after having made mistakes.
Frustrating. Could do with an update.
